I have been to this restaurant many times over the years and given my experience today I am a little confused.
While it has always been a place where you could find decent value, my parents have enjoyed it and there are often many people eating at the restaurant, I have never really liked the food that much. The taste of some dishes was poor and the chicken could have been of better quality.
Today I went with my father yet again, but this time for a late lunch on a Thursday. The place was empty and I was wondering about the quality of the chef they might have on hand in the middle of the day. To my surprise, the food was quite good; much better than what I have had in the past.
The wonton soup was tasty as was the beef with black bean sauce. The stir fried chicken with vegetables was well made. The chicken was a decent quality and the broccoli, snow peas, etc. were cooked to perfection.
I am really not sure what to say. I don't know if they have a new chef in place or if they can cook better food when they are not so busy.
Normally I would give this place two stars, but today I would have given it four.

We will have to keep trying to see how it delivers in the future.

So, I returned to New Sky for lunch and it came through a second time. The Chinese vegetables with walnuts were crispy and the beef with onion and ginger was tasty. I do need to try this place at dinner, but this could become a new go to place.
